Trump: Pittsburgh Shooting An ‘Attack On Humanity’

President Trump continued to condemn the Saturday shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue near Pittsburgh that killed at least 11 people.

“The hearts of all Americans are filled with grief following the monstrous killing of Jewish Americans at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, you’ve all seen it, you’ve been watching it, it’s horrible,” he said at a rally in Murphysboro, Illinois.

“This evil anti-Semitic attack is an attack on all of us, it is an assault on humanity. It will require all of us working together to extract the hateful poison of anti-Semitism from our world. This was an anti-Semitic attack at its worst,” Trump added. “The scourge of anti-Semitism cannot be ignored, cannot be tolerated, and it cannot be allowed to continue…It must be confronted and condemned everywhere it rears its very ugly head.”

BDE! I join klal yisroel in mourning the Jews murdered in Pittsburgh. Hgaon Reb Lazer Shach ztk’l teaches that chazal say on the posuk ” Hyorei Vhrach levov” (the frightened and faint of heart) refers to those who speak between tefillin shel yad and tefillin shel rosh. It is obvious that reliance on porkei ol and certainly others to fight our cause is foolhardy. Rather those who are charid ldvar hashem should strengthen their mitzvos and massim tovim. May we all take heed and be zocah to the geulah shlaimah bkorov.
